Except for the random illnesses of the past week, things went pretty well and I accomplished most of what I planned.  One of the highlights for me was finally sorting (and decluttering) my old t-shirts from high school and church activities.  It was more time-consuming than I planned (I didn’t quite realize there were that many!), but they are now at a friend’s house waiting to be sewn into a t-shirt quilt!  I attempted to make one once, and it wasn’t so great.  I decided to let an expert do it this time!

Here’s a look back at last week’s goals:

Find a 5K race to run with my 7-year-old. Devise a training schedule for her. (This is her goal — I told her I would help her!)  I set up her schedule with help from this 5K Training for Kids post.  I changed a few things and added a couple of weeks since the race isn’t until May.  If you use Google calendar and would like to see our schedule, you can access the schedule I devised here (Right-click and copy the link location.  Add it to your calendar via the “Other Calendars:  Add by URL” option.
